Pros

If you need to learn how to lie, this one teaches you well. Absolute lack of morals and ethics at this company, if you want to trash your name, come on board.

Cons

CTO and about a dozen people lied about "business edition" cloud at Genesys. The executives mocked technology they got through acquisition, got rid of any one who opposed them from acquisitions, then flopped with their own "in house" product. When someone blew they whistle on major stories told to customers that were lies, that person was fired, and the executives who made this mess are now busy providing software on premise because the cloud bombed so badly. Arrogance abounds. CTO sold MAJOR FORTUNE 500 companies on a cloud product that was vaporware. The cloud product now removed at just about every company that bought it after triple the deployment time stated and the phone wouldn't even ring. Where's the Magic Quadrant on this one?

Pros

The people here are outstanding. For the most part, they really care about the company success and the quality of the work they produce. There is a good work/life balance and telecommuting is an option in most department. Benefits are OK.

Cons

For the last several months, the push has been on to move jobs to "low cost" centers in India and Russia. Long-term employees are being let go at a rapid rate--beyond what would be expected from the recent acquisitions. Morale is plummeting. Stock options now for regular employees are non-existent--only for the execs. This is all about making sure our bottom line looks even better to the VCs who own us, even though we already have double-digit growth.

Pros

Competitive benefits package and company provided cell phone. Those are probably the only good things I can think of with my experience so far.

Cons

Where do I begin? The facility is dark, dismal, dirty, and depressing. Their software development process is archaic and bureaucratic, which makes it abundantly clear why nothing ever gets done. The Dell laptops we're supposed to work on are big, bulky, sluggish, cheap, and look awful, then to add insult to injury they have it running Windows 7. Most places would give you a choice of laptops and Operating System preferences regardless of what OS the product primarily uses. This company does everything as a one size fits all and does not at all care about the happiness of their employees. They are so cheap with everything they do, it'll make you feel dispensable and undervalued, while cutting expenses to a pathetic degree. Since EcoPass was acquired there has been so much resentment and mistrust that it is unavoidable, it's almost like watching step siblings being forced to get along when the parents are playing favorites. Politics are at the core of Genesys culture which makes getting anything done outside your team sometimes nerve racking and often frustrating. The reviews of this company are completely contrary to who they really are. Right when you walk in the door, you can feel that the spirit of ambition has died long ago. I highly recommend you reconsider working here, especially because of their deceptive reviews. This company destroys dreams, wrecks innovation, and discourages ambition. All you will get from them is frustration, depression, then apathy.
